24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
With new yard this year and much improved when readily making all in good-ground handicaps at Epsom (1m2f) and York (1m4f) this spring; a first crack at 1m6f isn't fanciful but he needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat in 1m4f Listed race at Newmarket eight weeks ago. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Never dangerous in this race last year on his only visit to Epsom; however, he's scored twice at Chester (which has similarities to this track) and that includes over 1m4f last Saturday when his head was in front where it matters for the first time in 22 months; back up 2lb but still 5lb below his peak mark and soft ground should not be a problem; in the mix. |

31st May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Some creditable efforts on AW this winter; never involved when eighth of 14 over the extended 1m2f here (good) 23 days ago but it was no bad run and he's dropped to 2lb below the mark he defied over C&D (soft) in summer 2023; no surprise were he to bounce back to form with a bang. |

26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
The standout in-form candidate after front-running efforts on last three starts brought two 1m2f Beverley wins and a short-head defeat off this mark in blanket finish over Musselburgh's 1m4f; should go very well again. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
11th Aug 2023 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Prominent racer; feasibly weighted seeking a hat-trick after back-to-back Beverley wins (1m2f; has risen a combined total of 5lb); the stable is going really well, he's versatile ground wise, and this sharp track should suit; enthusiasm is tempered by inconclusive stamina over 1m4f. |

3rd Mar 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seen more often over further these days, but last week still managed to win over C&D for the fifth time; that was a 0-50 classified event and his 4lb penalty means he is 7lb higher than when last successful in a handicap, but he still commands respect. |

24th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple C&D winner who comes here in good form and was runner-up in 1m2f Newcastle handicap 23 days ago (ran in a void race here since); he's a big player at these weights refitted with his usual visor. |

1st Jun 2023 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Has worn these cheekpieces the last twice; inconsistent 9yo who was disappointing at Ayr (1m2f, good) last time but prior to that he was a good second over this C&D (soft) and he's capable bouncing back from a poor run; has won over C&D and is versatile ground-wise; not written off. |

Got back on track in first-time cheekpieces when second of eight in 1m2f Ripon handicap 18 days ago; he needs considering nudged up 1lb with the headgear retained. |
